2000 march in LA and Rose Gudiel declares victory!

The day after thousands marched against Wall Street banks in NY, over 2000 people are marched through downtown LA to protest Wall Street banks for destroying jobs and neighborhoods with their greedy, reckless and predatory business practices. The LA march is sponsored by the ReFund California campaign.

The intersection of Figueroa and 7th outside Bank of America was overtaken by marchers while 11 people occupied Bank of America in downtown LA, refusing to leave until Bank of America commits to keep families in their homes, pay their fair share of taxes and help rebuild hard-hit neighborhoods. When they refused to leave they were arrested by LAPD.

The week of action and today’s march got dozens of mentions in the press. As Rose Gudiel said, “I hope that the banks will change their policies to stop taking the homes the thousands of hardworking families facing preventable foreclosure. This is only the beginning.”
